Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez today stressed he is working well with new Anfield managing director Christian Purslow – following the well-documented tensions which existed with his predecessor Rick Parry.
Said Benitez: “We are working very hard together, very close.
“I would say we have a meeting not just every week but every day.
“We are on the phone and as soon as I try to do something or want to do something, he is there.
“So we are working very hard here and I think the relationship is good. I am really pleased.
Added Benitez: “I think he understands the club.
“He was telling me about some games and he remembers who scored the winning goals and things like this – so sometimes it’s a problem for me!
“He loves the club and he wants the best for the club.”
Kenny Dalglish added: “I know as a managing director you are judged on many things.
“Christian Purslow and the club’s commercial director Ian Ayre have to take a huge pat on the back for getting this record shirt sponsorship deal into the football club.
“It shows we have men determined to push the club forward in the right direction.
“And it illustrates the standing of Liverpool Football Club that a company the size of Standard Chartered Bank have come to put their name on our shirts. It's fantastic news.”
